FORMULA ONE: Michael Schumacher's manager hinted in a German newspaper interview yesterday that the former world champion could move to big-spending Toyota.

Schumacher complained about Ferrari's lack of competitiveness last year in an interview with Der Spiegel magazine, and Willi Weber mentioned Toyota's 'Nothing is impossible' advertising slogan in yesterday's Bild.

"There have always been surprises in Formula One," Weber said, when asked about Schumacher's comment that there was a one per cent chance he would move to a new team after his Ferrari contract expires at the end of 2006. "And even if McLaren has (Fernando) Alonso in 2007, there are still big players in the market."

Schumacher (37) has won seven world championships, but finished a distant third behind Renault's Alonso and McLaren's Kimi Raikkonenin 2005.
